<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></FONT>Andy,</div>
<div> it wasn't really on my radar until I started reading both the official site, and several related sites. I've not been to anything bigger than Chalice or the Kingdom archery shoot,both weekend things, and I certainly wasn't thinking about stuff like that then. SCA certainly doesn't strike me as a likely place for such, but with 10,000 people you might get a few dodgy ones. I was working a bike show in NYC years ago when the vendor behind me tried to steal a t-shirt I'd bought,by sliding it through the partition.he purportedly had to get into our display to check his electrical connections,which may have been true,and he took advantage.I noted it had disappeared, and went around the other side,finding it had been moved, and I knew he'd done it. watching out for the public trying to lift stuff was bad enough,but a fellow vendor was maybe worse. </div>
<div> I accept one shouldn't get overly attached to anything material,and if it's that important one should leave it home.I'm just trying to find out what the risks might be,real or perceived.</div>

Gentles,</div>
<div> I've been perusing Pennsic parables and now have questions about theft. Being in a group encampment is a good thing. Do we always have someone keeping an eye on our land? what do folk do about securing valuables? I thought I saw info somewhere about strong-boxes, and arrangements with those dirt screws like one puts in the ground for a dog leash or such. Any advice? </div>
